   So am I correct, the Chrome Browser is the only Program included with the   
   Chrome O/S?

   On this XP pc I use Firefox with the NoScript Add-On and most websites I   
   visit the NoScript dropdown list has Google this, Google that etc....   
      
   Google: Analytics, Gstatic and many others that want my TEMPORARILY OK   
   when I visit the pages.   
   So I live in the Google walled-garden when I'm on the internet.   
      
   I'm not so sure about ALLOWING all of those Google thingy's instead of   
   selecting Temporarily Allow on the sites I visit.   
      
   It would take less time for a page to load if those Google Thingy's were   
   marked Allow in NoScript.   
      
   What do You do?   
      
   And there is DOUBLECLICK always asking permission, but I don't do that.   
      
   I've been thinking about marking JQuery, Cloudflare and a few others as   
   ALLOWED in NoScript.   
      
   There are others I need to read up about to see if they too need to be   
   ALLOWED also. Bootstrap maybe?   
      
   Is there a Chrome O/S Emulator for Windows where I could run it on a   
   "Live CD"?   
   I could play some with some of the things my Chromebook Friend uses and   
   be more knowledgeable talking to him about his computer.
